I posted already about my five Yorkies being sick and how I spoke to the owner of our local petstore (Where the product was purchased). The owner said she had three returns this week on the product, and that she contacted the company and the company said they had a formula change and asked her to send in a sample of the returns. The owner of the store also said (Which was strange) that only one case was effected. I would think if it was just a formula change and not an issue that more then one case would be effected. Here is my update:

This morning I called the comapny myself. 1. They denied a formula change and when pressed about issues I found through google they also skated around it. I gave them the can number code etc. and I'm waiting for their vet tech to contact me. 2. My Yorkies seem to be getting better but still have some bloody diarhea but not nearly what they had. My vet is monitoring them and at this point it's a watch and wait. We are keeping them hydrated and they do seem fine other then the diarhea and vomiting. This by the way has been since Thursday of last week.

BELOW IS What I found while researching through google and I think it's very important that people read this and realize that although this food was not on the recal list MELAMINE was found in it and another woman who also used this product had her dogs become sick with the same symptoms that my five Yorkies had. PLEASE READ AND PLEASE STOP USING THIS FOOD.

More Concerns about Diamond
Meanwhile, an Indiana pet owner contacted ConsumerAffairs.com on Sunday with concerns about another brand of Diamond Pet Foods.

Sharen C. of La Fontaine, Indiana, says her two dogs became sick after eating Diamond’s Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover’s Soul.

“I normally cook for my dogs, but I wanted to supplement them with this brand,” Sharen says, adding her dogs, Cassie and Star, are Lab-mixes. “When I tried it, though, my dogs became sick. They were lethargic and had diarrhea. And this lasted for a couple days.”

Sharen immediately stopped feeding the food to her dogs.

When their conditions improved — about a week later — she tried giving them the food again.

“But they got sick again and had the same symptoms,” she says. “So this wasn’t a coincidence. It made them sick -- twice.” Sharen contacted Diamond Pet Foods, but says the company downplayed her concerns.

”The response I got from the company were simply suggestions on how to feed my dogs.”

But shortly after her call, Diamond recalled its Chicken Soup for Puppy Lover’s Soul and Chicken Soup For Kitten Lover’s Soul. The company, however, didn’t recall the brand that made Sharen’s dogs sick — Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover’s Soul.

“And I have no idea why they didn’t recall that brand,” she says. “It definitely made my dogs sick.”

Sharen says Cassie and Star haven’t eaten that brand of food in weeks. And they’re now doing fine.

Will she ever feed them another brand of commercial dog food?

“No, I’m just not comfortable using commercial pet food,” Sharen says. “I cook for my dogs and my advice would be that everyone should cook for their dogs.”

Diamond Pet Foods in April recalled its Chicken Soup for the Kitten Lover’s Soul and Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lover’s Soul after the FDA confirmed the products contained melamine-tainted rice protein concentrate.
